Design : Practice not just theory

Important aspect of good design is a pattern. A pattern that we have seen somewhere and if we see it again we are sure to relate and recognize and most probably remember.

Take for example the simple dressing that I did for my food. I cut these fruits and put it on plate in some pattern (circular here). And later if you happen to see a webpage or a print on sari which has similar sort of structure/layout your brain will immediately bring forth this pattern and you'll make a relation.

As a Designer you have to keep practicing these traits and everyday routine and that's how it'll get imbibed in your brain, your subconscious mind at least.

Wel,its true that design need not be an order always. Randomness as you said, is one of the pattern that is a design in itself. But, the fruits that you cut here in the picture, do have an order...circular(u mentioned). Infact i would like to remind you the pattern you use to draw in school in drawing class, which was a perfect example of randomness as a pattern. I still remember it as that is perfectly imbibed in the innermost depth of my subconscious.
